1) Things Are Getting Better

2) OpenAI’s One Model To Rule Them All

OpenAI continues to dominate AI news.

In a recent interview, Sam Altman said they have an internal AI model that currently ranks as the 50th best competitive programmer in the world and plans to push it to number one by the end of 2025.

And they made a few small but cool announcements, like that o3 mini and o1 can interact with images and files now.

The big news is that OpenAI confirmed that GPT-4.5, originally called Orion internally, will be released in the next few weeks. This will be their final model without reasoning capabilities.

The company is simplifying its offerings by unifying its dozen different ChatGPT models under GPT-5, which will be released in the following months. The structure will be straightforward: free users will get access to a baseline model with unlimited usage. Plus, subscribers will receive a smarter version, and pro users will get the smartest model.

Behind the scenes, OpenAI will dynamically select the best model for each task, whether it requires a quick response or compute-intensive reasoning. This is something I’ve repeatedly asked for over the last year.

By June, we could have one model to rule them all. Ranking in the top 50th percentile among coders with an IQ above 140. This model will handle everything from quick responses to deep, thoughtful questions that might take up to 10 minutes to generate. It will also process images, conduct research, search the web, have access to multiple agents that actually work, and much more. Incredible.

All of these advances converge in a single, continuously improving model, making AGI feel at hand. For most people, when a system can perform online tasks better than a human, that's essentially AGI. And we’re getting it probably in June.

4) Deepfakes for Good

A new deepfake has been going viral on social media, and… maybe this one actually did some good?

For anyone who unfortunately followed Kanye West on X over the past week and saw his incredibly racist and anti-Semitic tweets, there has been a video circulating on X showing celebrities such as Mark Zuckerberg, Jerry Seinfeld, and other Jewish celebrities wearing a F Kanye shirt. Apparently in response to Kanye's offensive tweets.

But, it turns out it was actually a Deepfake. And it's the first time ever a Deepfake has tricked me at first glance.

While deepfakes are one of the few areas of AI where I have serious concerns about societal impact, this case presents an interesting twist. I believe in free expression - even for the horrible things Kanye was saying. But equally important is the right to respond and push back.

This deepfake, while deceptive in its method, served as a powerful form of counter-speech. The key issue wasn't the message or even necessarily the medium, but rather the lack of transparency. Had it been clearly marked as AI-generated content, it could have probably maintained most its impact while avoiding the deception.
